Like everybody, I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.

My heroes are Robert Duvall, Forest Whitaker, Ed Harris, Tommy Lee Jones, Anthony Hopkins and Sean Penn.

I've had a great career. I've had a great life. I am truly blessed by my working experiences.

Tarantino and Jackson is like Scorsese and DeNiro, and their silent communication.

I really believe that when you're playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I'm pulling from things from my own life, then I think I'm being disingenuous to the character and the story.

The guy who kills 38 people is not the guy you'd want to have over at Thanksgiving.
